AFTER SEEING A BROADWAY MUSICAL, LARRY DECIDES TO CREATE ONE OF HIS OWN, ON ABC'S "THE NEIGHBORS"

Academy Award-winning Composer Alan Menken Writes Original Songs

"Sing Like a Larry Bird" - Increasingly comfortable exploring the world outside of their gated community, the Bird-Kersees ignore the Weavers' concerns and decide to go to into the city to see a Broadway show. Inspired by the experience, Larry decides to put on a musical of his own, which goes well until Dick literally missteps. Instead of going to Marty and Debbie for help (as they have done many times before), the Bird-Kersees risk exposing their true identities when they call 9-1-1, on "The Neighbors," WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13 (8:30-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC. Academy Award-winning Alan Menken composed original songs for the episode.
